July 29, 2013 – Jeremiah 27 – 28

Sometimes it might be hard to understand what God is doing, but you must submit yourself to the fact that He is in charge.  Even the things that have nothing to do with religion are under His guidance.  Here, He says that He has given Babylon all the land that they are conquering.  It isn’t Babylon that is doing this, or at least not on their own.  What is happening is God’s will and He is allowing it.  Whether it makes sense to us or it is good for us in our eyes doesn’t matter.  God is telling Israel that this is happening because He is allowing it and to accept it or there will be more suffering.
